I'm a Canadian permanent resident abroad, presently living in the UK with my wife who is Canadian. I never had the opportunity to move in Canada when my visa was issued (2010), because my job unexpectedly held me in the UK (I'm a Church of England vicar). I hold a five year contract for my job here, after which we hope to move to Toronto (2015) which is the year I have to get my permanent residence card renewed. I know that if you are abroad with a parent or spouse who is a Canadian citizen, that fulfills the residency requirement for permanent residents. When my contract is up in the UK and I have to renew my permanent residence card, do you think I'll get hassled by Canadian immigration even though I will have been living with my wife here all that time? I hold an Ontario driving licence, have an address there, as well as a bank account we intend to use when we get to move. Please advise, many thanks in advance.
